His mum is an accomplished musician. I'd imagine she sowed the first seeds. 😍

Not only is Jacob an brilliant singer with an incredible vocal range, but he plays piano, guitar, drums and numerous other instruments incredibly well. He's won several Grammys including one for a mind blowing version of Moon River. One of my favorites is his version of the Flintstones theme. His level of genius comes along once a century or less and we are fortunate to witness it, yet most people have never heard of him.

isn't that crazy?? sooo talented. He should have millions of views on this song alone. We got to change that!

Tears and goosebumps. Yup, every time. I hope you do more Jacob Collier reactions!

Saw him live this year, and it was the best show I’ve ever seen. So much energy, and not only the musicianship of the band was the top of the top, but also the singing was incredible: the arrangement of the microtonal modulations in the a cappella parts, and the pitch accuracy was so spot-on that harmonics would pop out, and they sounded like they were coming from the ceiling or balcony. I recommend seeing his live show whenever you can!

So reagieren die meisten, wenn sie mit Jacob Collier in Berührung kommen. Hör die Fix You von ihm oder Moon River an. Direkte Gänsehaut…

I loved your honest reaction - it's so easy to be moved to tears by his work. It really is life-affirming stuff! Thanks Rosalie - please keep them coming!

Hi Rosalie. I'm so glad you chose to react to Jacob Collier. I agree, he is a remarkable musician. His arrangements are quirky yet brilliant. The bell tones, harmonic riffs and modulating keys takes his listeners on a wild ride. I also believe in our interconnection to the universe. We get a glimpse of the divine in the order in chaos, harmony from noise and from loves beauty over hate. To you and all your followers Merry Christmas and a Happy Peaceful New Year!

Thanks for this ❤

Wonderful reaction, Rosalie. I too have been following Jacob on Instagram and tearing up every time he posts a video of the audience choir. What it must feel to be in that room, singing together. If you read music, June Lee has a video of this arrangement that has the transcription of what Jacob is doing. It's fascinating. There is another video he did for Wired that I think you would enjoy, entitled "Jacob Collier Plays the Same Song in 18 Increasingly Complex Emotions".

Jacob sometimes does live streams where he goes into detail into the Logic Session for one of his songs. He did one for The Christmas Song. It is UNBELIEVEABLE! kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIyh08iDmNiyoto.html

Oh wow I love how you articulated the amazing talent of Jacob!

Very nice reaction to such a beautiful song, a wonderful arrangement. Love how you connected it to choosing life as well

Fantastic!

I can describe this voice in only one way. He is very Bingish or Crosbyish either way. That is a wonderful thing.

Thank you for that lovely, loving reaction to this beautiful Jacob rendition. Other than your remark about a "good cigar" I totally agreed with every single thing you said (I just hate cigar smoke so no shade on you). Your reaction was delightful and yeah, why doesn't Jacob have a 100 million subs? Jacob does so many incredible things and one of them is that he seems to know how to stroke all our emotional strings. His songs are just awash with the sounds that cause us to feel what he's performing. It's quite amazing really. Truly an old soul. Thank you again for this thoughtful, generous reaction. I'm so glad I stumbled onto it. Best wishes for your health and happiness.

Thank you for watching and your comment :) I agree. He is so unique and talented. I don’t smoke cigars much ever but if I indulge once in a rare blue moon I enjoy it. But I’m sure there are many better comparisons :)

@@rosalieelliottofficial ±My dad always smoked cigars. As a little kid I bugged him constantly to let me try one. Finally after endless appeals he picked me up, put me on his lap and put his cigar in my mouth. He then said "Now breathe in deeply." After I stopped gagging I've never wanted to smoke again (real good thing in retrospect). Anyways that was 65 years ago and I still can't stand even a hint of cigar smoke. TMI I know but have a Merry Christmas.

Amazing isn’t it? Thank you :) Merry Christmas to you too :)

As an intro to my comment😉: nice new channel intro - i likei t!,👏💛 Now to the song - the harmonies he does are out of this world! Imagine the amount of time it must have taken him to arrange this and put it all together. Even when you are as gifted as he obviously is this must've been a crazy amount of work. I'm a sucker for harmonies too. That's what ultimately defines feelgood music for me. The music itself may come as hard as it gets - if there are certain harmonic structures, I don't care. Although on one or two occasions in the song I think he overdid it a bit. I would describe it as too much tonal information for me to process properly. Btw: the word you were looking for, Rosalie, is velvet. He has a velvety, soothing tone in his voice.

Thank you. Glad to hear it. Just using it a bit for now

That was nice. 'Frankie says Choose Life' was a campaign from the 80's by the band 'Frankie goes to Hollywood'

Jacob is just phenomenal! If you want to know more about him, the BBC recently did a nice documentary piece on him that does a good job introducing him and his career so far. Honestly, his accomplishments and musical abilities are overwhelming. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4aqxpeKmtjWg7g.html

Merry Christmas to you, Dear Reacting Rosalie

I love the new intro first and foremost that is very cool now again thank you for the multiple uploads this holiday season I am enjoying them alot this is a very good one do like Jacob Collier he does such a great job on his songs he does he reminds me of the classic crooners like Sinatra and Dean and even Sammy Davis Jr and all of those guys and he leans into his own way of doing it but the sound is so good anyways as always your ride or die forever Eyyy Oooo

You do great reactions! I was happy to quickly find one of yours for Jacob. I just today 'stumbled' upon this guy. I listened to a few of his pieces... and subscribed. I was curious what reactors might think. I saw ours right away. This piece is so many things. Weird? Different? Complex? Mind-blowing? Full of harmonies that are unique? Layer upon layer of texture? Yes to all. (look up the word 'mellifluous') I think that might work for this guy. I agree with everything you said. This guy is amazing! So was your reaction!

Good word Rosalie.

Love it 🎼🎶❤️

If you wish to react to an artist you may not have heard of, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Lonesome Ghosts

Good one

Not sure if or where you take suggestions but if you do you should check out “Jon Bellion live @cove city” it’s really something else. I think you’ll love it!
